Interesting Super Bowl Stat
For the starting lineups of every single Super Bowl-winning team going back to 2010, these were the three "rounds" that accounted for the most starting talent.

1. Second round
2. First round
3. UDFA
Pay attention to every single name this week at the combine. They all matter.

I guess UDFA is not surprising since there's just more of them, but I am surprised the 2nd round beats the 1st round. Wonder if it has to do with the dozens of QB busts taken at the top of the draft who contribute nothing at all.

Could also be the number of “blue chip” players in a draft?
They always say there’s 10-20 first round talent players each year and then not a ton of difference between the next 50 players. Typically the good teams aren’t getting those blue chips but they obviously are identifying the best in the next 50.
